Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Andrew Slimmon explains why 'the market is going to frustrate the bulls' and why it's time to buy 'offensive' stocks.

The S & P 500 rallied 8% in one month. That's despite the banking turmoil, which fueled investor fears of a 2008-style financial crisis. But Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Andrew Slimmon isn't optimistic about the market. "Now that we have moved back yet again to the top end of this 3800-4200 range, with renewed banking issues in the headlines, I think the market is going to frustrate the bulls," he told CNBC. The S & P 500 closed at around 4,119 on Tuesday.

But any collapse won't take long as investors will start to anticipate a recovery in earnings next year, he added. Offensive stocks are those that tend to do well when the market goes up, while defensive sectors are the sectors that outperform when the market goes down. "So I think it's very dangerous to own just very defensive stocks … I think you want some offensive in your portfolio," Slimmon told CNBC's " Squawk Box Asia " on Tuesday.
